This copy of Edith is not the original leak. The original leak was posted here on archive.org in early June 2023 (a few days ago) with very little supporting information from an anonymous source.

While we do know that another user had a copy of the software, we don't know if their version is the same as this one. Jokingly referred to as "Version 666" this version seems to be either a pre-release version. According to the description this was compiled pre-livin' large.

This program needs to be put into C:/ folder to function correctly. Create a shortcut to debug and put it in windowed mode by editing the shortcut. Once in game load a house and press "E" to open Edith and "M" for money.

The exact workings of Edith are not entirely understood at this time. Unlike the original upload, there is directions and documentation listed here to help use the software provided by Dr. Forbus and Northwestern University.

In fact, the version used by students during the 2001 semester seems to be the exact same version. That may mean that this is the specific version used for that class and may have been uploaded by a past student.
